what determines who makes decisions over issues like rule-setting, dispute resolution, and resource distribution at the local level—rebels or civilians?What are the theoretical and/or empirical strengths and weaknesses of the
reading(s)? Do they advance the literature?
What are the central issues at 5 stake in these readings? What are the principal arguments of the works understudy? How do they relate to each other? What are the main theoretical or empirical strengths or weaknesses of the studies? How valuable and viable is the theory that each proposes (if it proposes a theory)? Your paper should go beyond a summary of the readings toward critical commentary and a discussion of the issues.
